Quotation from: Sense and Sensibility

Written by: Jane Austen


"This is admiration of a very particular kind!--
what is Miss Morton to us?--who knows, or who cares,
for her?--it is Elinor of whom WE think and speak."


And so saying, she took the screens out of her
sister-in-law's hands, to admire them herself as they
ought to be admired.


Mrs. Ferrars looked exceedingly angry, and drawing
herself up more stiffly than ever, pronounced in retort
this bitter philippic, "Miss Morton is Lord Morton's daughter."
